Lobster Roll - Red’s Eats Wiscasset, Maine

French Dip - Philippe’s Los Angeles

Pastrami - Katz’s Deli Manhattan

I can add one to your list. Remember it because I was taken there once.

Thelma’s Bar-B-Que in Houston. It’s on Live Oak Road.

Here’s a couple that weren’t on the list, but probably should be:

The Hot Holly (College Deli, Williamsburg, VA)  
The Gusburger (White Spot, Charlottesville, VA)  
Delly Twins, Delight, Meal In Itself (Parkway Deli, Silver Spring, MD)

Damn, now I’m hungry again!
